Harnessing active matter requires strategies that break the directional symmetry of self-propelled motion without altering the propulsion mechanism itself. Here, we show that magnetically inert spherical active colloids can be steered…

Acoustic radiation force is a net force experienced by an object under the action of an acoustic wave. Most theoretical models require the acoustic wave to be periodic, if not purely monofrequency, and are therefore irrelevant for the study…
